They seem to be throwing the NPU cards around like confetti, even I have one.

I had the chance to take some photos of a charity abseil at Hexham Abby. While I was waiting I managed to grab a few pics of the inside, Only had my 50mm f1.8, I need a wider lens lol.
.
At the end they asked me if I would like to have a go, so me being me said yes.

Is it the VRII 70-200 you have? The D750 in AF-C with the VRII is exceptionally good for sports, very few misses.

Yes it is the VRII,I've had it for a few years and never used it much until recently,now it's rarely off the camera!
I'll post a couple more shots later when I can get on the PC.
I used it for a few Landscape shots up the Lakes earlier in the year!

By the way, you're all really not helping with GAS for a 70-200

Nice set of images Simon, really like the "Ted" shot. Must admit at first I thought it was a contrived shot purely because I've never seen a dog like that before. Great capture though with good comp', and perfect timing.

The Tamron equivalent is really very good and much cheaper.

And unfortunately about £600 over budget, haha.

Happy father's day to all D750 dads here.

My daughter (with a bit of help) made this for breakfast. She did the presentation. Together we have cooked quite a few of Jamie's food revolution recipes.

Seems good so far! Nicely made, seems nice and sturdy. And it's a nice colour

Cockapoo!

I was right but spelt it wrong. We a cross from a Lakeland terrier and a poodle

In the quest to take photos in the most difficult circumstances possible, I think I've finally achieved that aim. Dancing display in complete pitch black (in the circle at least) - couldn't make out the buttons on my camera so just as well I didn't need to use them. Stage was 45 degrees (ish) down and this is cropped in slightly at the full reach of my 300mm. f/2.8 and although only ISO 1250 it needed a further +2EV in LR and heavy shadow recovery (because of the sequins and use of highlight metering). Knocked shutter speed down to 1/250 to get as much light as possible - was a 50:50 call as to whether it would result in a usable photo or not...

And I won't even start on the stage lighting they had: blue, orange, purple strobes

And no, she told me afterwards she couldn't see me taking it - just happened to be (luckily) looking in my general direction!

My daughter having bungee fun ...85 F1.8G

That's impressive focusing at f/1.8. I know from first hand experience of my kids on their trampoline that it's very, VERY difficult to nail focus as they bounce around with that shallow a DOF. Top notch with the sharp eyelashes!

Thanks, after AF fine tune, the lens is spot on with focus. The 85 1.8G does not have have a fast AF, but it did admirably in all shots taken in this series.

That's my fave lens too and agree with the AF which is fine but not exceptional. Faster than my Sigma 120-300 though!
